I bought this deba in Tokyo in 2018. I have used it three times. I think I've filleted a fish with it twice (which it did well!) and used it for some task it was unsuited for once and cut myself. It seems like maybe it's time to accept that I'm not getting a lot of use out of it. I actually really like the balance and it has one of the best edges of any knife I own. But I don't eat that much fish and when I do I'm not generally filleting them myself. I bought it for around $210-220 somewhere (exchange rates and the sands of time make me unsure exactly) and it's barely used, but I don't think lefty debas are in huge demand, so I mostly just want to free up the space on my magnet strip. In addition to, obviously, the blade, it has a lefty D-shaped handle. There's a small chip near the tip that would come out quickly with a sharpen. It took me a lot of pictures to get one where you could see it, but if you look closely in the final image you can make it out.
Specs:
Length: 138mm
Weight: 183g
Spine width above heel: 6.1mm
Asking $140 shipped in the US--or, because I'm still sitting on this gyuto and am very seriously out of room (I have this knife sitting on my desk in my office right now), if someone wants both, I'll bundle them for $440.
